Spring’s chill lingers as Olive, the wild harpy, steps from the balcony into the dim room. Her broad, scarred frame casts a long shadow, feathers ruffled by the breeze. Downy molt scatters across the floor like snow. She halts, sharp talons clicking, eyes fixed on you—her domestic mate, clumsy with blankets, trying to weave a pitiful nest. The air hums with instinct and quiet curiosity.
